  • John Morrison

  • R-Truth


Results are only viewable after voting.
I see Jericho winning not only to prove Bischoff wrong when he said Jericho can't headline, but to move forward with his feud with Edge. Undertaker has been a horrible champ, R-Truth isn't ready yet, Mysterio will put on a good match, but he definitely won't win, and Punk is in his tag team thing, so he probably won't win either, so IMO the only other possible outcome is Morrison pulling a surprise on everyone, but I highly doubt that.
 
I see Jericho winning to further the feud with Edge. I don't think R-truth should be doing anything right now except going for a midcard title. I think he should be an IC champion, or go to Raw after Mania and get the US title. I don't see Morrison winning either, because when someone new wins the championship they usually make a big deal out of it. Undertaker won't win because I see him and HBK going at it at Mania again because they're running out of ideas for him. I don't think Mysterio will win because he doesn't have any lasting feud right now to make Mania headlines. I think he's just in it for some high flying "OH MY GOD!" spots. Punk won't win because the Straight Edge Society is going too strong right now.

Jericho wins and faces Edge at Mania.
 
I'm torn between Jericho and Punk. Seeing Punk headline Wrestlemania would be awesome and he's been on a roll but in terms of storyline, having Jericho come out on top seems most logical as the seeds for an Edge vs Jericho match were planted months ago when Edge got injured and Jericho verbally berated him. I'm incredibly happy to see both Morrison and Truth in this match (especially Truth as I am a HUGE R-Truth supporter) as it shows that WWE is putting a lot of faith in these guys pushing them and putting them in a PPV main event. But even with that said, I'm also not sold on seeing either of them holding the title and headlining the Wrestlemania main event however, I hope these two get a great chance to shine in this match and hopefully at MITB at Wrestlemania. Mysterio... meh. Not really sure about him. I see him having a good showing but not winning. As for 'Taker, this will hopefully be the night all of our questions regarding HBK vs 'Taker will be answered. Will HBK somehow cost him the title? If it happens, will it lead to HBK vs 'Taker II? Should be an interesting night for sure.
 
I voted for Jericho because it makes the most sense going forward. Y2J wins, sets up the match with Edge at Wrestlemania. I don't know how a Punk win would work. Who would he defend against at Wrestlemania? Edge? Maybe, but there's no real history there. Jericho? There won't be a heel vs heel match headlining Wrestlemania. Mysterio? Would he headline Wrestlemania? Maybe those 2 have a non-title match, but I can't see them having a match for the WHC at the biggest event of the year. I guess Punk could defend against the Undertaker, but then you'd have to have Edge vs. Sheamus and HHH vs. HBK.

Also, I really don't see how HBK can screw the Undertaker at the EC. How would he get in the chamber? I guess he could pass a weapon to someone, or do what Edge did to Kofi last year, but I don't see it happening. I would think that HBK would screw the Undertaker during his rematch with the new champ on an episode of Smackdown.

Honestly, I would love to see Morrison win the title. He's very talented, he's held numerous titles, and it would be a shock to everyone watching. I don't think he will win, but if Sheamus can be WWE champion, why can't Morrison win the WHC?
 
With HBK completely out of the title picture, it looks like HBK will screw Taker at EC to set up their match. Guys like Morrison and R-Truth are just filler, but they both will provide something good in the match. Mysterio just lost to Taker at the Rumble, so I don't see why he would win here. That leaves Punk and Jericho. Punk does have a lot of momentum right now and Punk/Edge could be pretty good. But with Jericho/Edge already taking shape it looks like Jericho will win here. Unless Vince gets triple threat happy, it looks like it will be Jericho/Edge at Mania and probably with Edge winning.
 
heres how i see it happening

punk and mysterio starting it off then just as jomo is coming in rey rolls up punk 1 2 3.
punk eliminated. punk gets pissed off and gts to rey then jomo does the starship pain on rey 1 2 3.
rey eliminated.

jomo is now waiting for the timer which then brings out jericho. the two go at it for 5 minutes until r truth comes in and starts attacking jericho jomo decides to join in. undertaker comes in and cleans house on truth and jomo (jericho is lying down) taker chokeslams r truth 1 2 3.
r truth eliminated.
jomo fights back but taker to strong and ends up doing the tombstone 1 2 3.
jomo eliminated.
taker walks towards jericho picks him up goes for the chokeslam then BAM sweet chin music by michaels who ran in when jomo was leaving jericho sly as he is covers taker 1 2 3.
taker eliminated jericho gets up to celebrate and BAM sweet chin music to him to. michaels stares at taker as the show ends.

thats how i see it happening and it sets up at wrestlemania
jericho WHC vs. edge
taker vs. michaels
punk vs. rey
truth and jomo in money in the bank
 
I think Rey will win this match. WWE has been teasing a Mysterio title win for a while now, and I think there's a chance it could happen here. I think the final two men in the chamber will be Rey and Taker. These two will probably go back and forth for a while, until Batista gets involved or HBK comes down to interfere and cost Taker the title, setting up a re match at Wrestlemania. Either way, I don't see Rey beating Taker with a clean pinfall in this match.
 
i want morrison to win. and here's how i think should happen this coming Elimination Chamber(order of elimantions):
R-Truth-by cm punk
CM punk-rey mysterio
rey mysterio- by Y2J after punk comes back and takes revenge and hits a GTS to mysterio
Y2J-edge music hits and jericho gets distracted and morrison rolls him up or hits a high impact move
Undertaker-as jericho is about to leave shawn michaels comes in and hits sweet chin music on the undertaker.
Result:Morrison is the champ! at the same time y2j vs edge at mania could still happen if y2j enters the raw chamber( in place of cena as batista will ambush him before the match) and wins the wwe championship! it's only wishful thinking.. but hey anything could happen!
 
This match has the potential to be fucking awesome. Everyone's style can adapt to the chamber and we may see some amazing spots. This will be great, everyone in the match are good with the worse being R Truth and personally I found him very good. This will be very entertaining and I'm not entirely sure who will win which always key to a good match.

Right now I think Jericho will win as I think they are setting up for Jericho vs Edge at Wrestlmania. I'm not sure but I have a feeling it could be him. This match is going to be awesome no matter who wins and I think this will be a good showing for Morrison and R Truth.
 
I think I'll also have to go with the majority here; Jericho winning the EC seems the most logical thing right now. Besides, we've had Edge vs Taker at WM before, and even though Edge got involved with Sheamus on RAW recently, I don't see him going to WM against Sheamus. Sheamus vs Edge just doesn't really mean anything (mostly because Sheamus by himself doesn't yet "mean" that much); given the circumstances, the only match that would really matter involving Sheamus and the WWE title at WM would be Sheamus vs John Cena, since it was Cena that Sheamus took the belt from. But I'm really curious to see as to how the RAW chamber plays out as well, and whether they really decide to keep the belt on Sheamus going into WM - simply because Sheamus just has next to no name value yet, and him being in the main event of Wrestle f'n Mania does seem a little out of place; WM is just THE biggest event of the year that needs to put the focus on the top stars - and Sheamus isn't a top star by a long shot, obviously.

Of course it could be quite an upset if Sheamus retains, but this could also lead up to a possible triple threat constellation for the WWE title... but right now, I just don't see any real worthwile feud for the WWE title except for Cena/Sheamus. Which of course won't happen if they have to go with Batista/Vince vs Bret/Cena... but I digress.

As far as the SD Chamber is concerned now, as stated I think Jericho would be the best option, mostly because Edge vs Jericho for the title at WM could be a pretty damn good match, has a storyline that is already more than well set up, and is also a match we haven't had in such a high profile situation at Wrestlemania before, as opposed to other constellations we might get - especially if Taker retains, and Taker headlining WM with a title is always a bit problematic, as due to the streak, he probably will not lose anyway, especially if the title challenger is just "someone" who has more or less randomly earned his shot, instead of someone who could be a real threat to the streak by himself and has a reason to feud with Taker (i.e. HBK).

So giving the belt to Jericho could be a pretty good decision, and would leave the possibility open for Taker vs HBK II. Besides, given that Taker is in obvious pain, and given that he would most likely retain at WM if he was champion going in, he would need to keep the belt at least until Backlash, which adds yet another month for him before he can finally get some surgery done; and that doesn't seem like a good idea.

Punk has been really great lately, so he might have a chance too in sort of an upset win, but I think Jericho vs Edge has the more main event feel to it than Punk going against Edge (or another challenger, if Edge goes after the RAW belt). Personally, I'd also love to see Morrison win, but I don't think it's his time yet, especially with so many big names (esp. Taker) involved. A feud between him and Punk that could somehow be set up in the EC seems pretty interesting as well, so that could be the one that both Punk and Morrison can use to shine, and show that they're ready for a permanent Main Event status.

Also, an Edge vs Punk feud (in case he wins at WM) or a Jericho vs Morrison feud for the title (if Jericho wins) would be a great way to elevate both Punk and Morrison respectively (esp. Morrison), following WM and Backlash once their programs for/after WM are finished. I can see Morrison defeating Jericho for the title, but I can't see him defeating Taker. A victory over the Undertaker is usually reserved to well established top tier stars (if they are faces, clean - if they are heels, it's easier as interferences can help), so I don't think Morrison will go over Undertaker as he is a face, but nowhere near "face enough" to win sympathy by beating the Undertaker. All that would do would move him more into a heel position as people just don't like seeing the Undertaker get beat (except by HBK, maybe hehe).

But well, I'm curious as to whether WWE will indeed pull a swerve and have one of the underdogs win (Morrison, Truth (which is really unlikely to me, as R-Truth as well has too little name value yet to headline WM) or Mysterio; though Mysterio might have an outside chance - but only if Batista isn't involved in the Hart/McMahon feud, since Batista vs Mysterio with Mysterio as the champ going into WM could also have worked), but my pick would have to be Jericho, as I personally want to see Jericho vs Edge at WM, and it's also quite good if you have someone like Jericho or Edge as champion, who is considered to be "very good, but beatable" as opposed to Taker, for as much as I love him - he only gets beat by huge monsters like Batista or John Cena, or by top heels if they cheat somehow, and rarely loses to anyone else. And as said, I feel that ensuing Jericho/Morrison or Punk/Edge feuds for the title, depending on who has it after WM, could really be very interesting and do a lot to help the younger guys get to the top tier.

And besides, Jericho is overdue for the Main Event spotlight anyway, considering the good work he's done in the IC and Tag Team scene in recent history, giving back some credibility to both titles.
 
I'm going to break this down and look at each wrestler.

The Undertaker- If he wins that makes him face Edge or somebody else. I can't see HBK some how getting a title shot against Taker. I don't see Taker winning.

CM Punk- Punk is doing better things and I don't think he needs the title right now. He's in a tag team and he's fine without it. Punk doesn't win.

Chris Jericho- My pick to win it. This allows Edge to use the Rumble contract to face Jericho at Wrestlemania and it all fits together quite nicely.

Rey Mysterio- No. If Rey won I have no idea what they would do until Mania

John Morrison- He's feuding over the IC title. Not exactly the most opportune moment for him to get the World title.

R-Truth- :lmao:, maybe later in his career but right now I just see him as a dancing fool.
 
I agree with the majority that think Jericho wins the title, setting up the possible match with Edge at Wrestlemania if Edge decides to challege Jericho for the title, which I think he will, but you never know. Also if Undertaker does indeed lose this match, I think they make the WHC match at Wrestlemania a Triple Threat, with Edge & Jericho.
Or maybe WWE decides to do Taker-HBK. I dont think R Truth, Morrison or Mysterio have a shot at winning this match.
 
I'm excited for this match.

For some reason (and I don't even know why exactly), I don't see them giving the WHC to Jericho. He hasn't been in pursuit of the title specifically. Instead he's been playing different roles here and there (like his brief Hart Dynasty mentorship) since JeriShow lost the titles. Not saying that Jericho wouldn't want to pursue the WHC, but until Edge's return, he hadn't really been given a reason to be in the WHC picture. That brings me to the other side of things: it would be the most time-effective and logical way to set up Edge vs Jericho for Mania (if that's happening), since Edge can choose which title he wants to challenge and if Jericho has one that makes the decision much, much easier.

I don't necessarily think the Undertaker would have to lose the title at the EC to make his match with HBK happen. I really could see him retaining the title at the chamber and Shawn finding some way to get a shot at the title, be it Money in the Bank or whatever it is he can sneak his way into. It also depends if they are truly setting up an HBK/Taker match or an HBK/HHH match for Wrestlemania. On the flipside (and going with the assumption that HBK/Taker II is happening) an EC match loss seems like it would be a worthy occasion to end The Undertaker's reign (or a Shawn Michaels interference at EC costing him the title) and it's not like a Michaels/Taker rematch would need any other stipulation or title attached to it to be a big deal.

Thinking about the possibilities for Wrestlemania, it probably does make the most sense that Jericho would win.
 
here's how i think it will go:

Jericho and Mysterio start off.The whole time Punk is eyeing out Mysterio.Jericho becomes obsessed with taking Rey's mask again.

Punk gets in next and goes straight for Jericho.He hits the GTS and then Mysterio hits the 619 straight after him.Then Punk goes after Mysterio and tries to take his mask off saying his hiding behind it and Punk can save him.

Punk gets the mask in his hand and its almost off Mysterio's head.Undertaker then charges through the glass and chokeslam's everyone.He tries to pin but his not legally in yet.

Then Undertakers POD opens as he tries to pin Jericho.He kicksout.

Morrison comes in next and hits a shooting star press on Punk from the top of a POD.Mysterio then pins Punk straight away.

As Punk leave R-TRUTH's POD opens and HBK also comes in and superkicks 'taker.

R-TRUTH then pins 'Taker.

On his way out HBK superkicks Mysterio.

Jericho pins Mysterio.

TRUTH and morrison team up on Jericho.Jericho gets the upper hand on TRUTH.Morrison see's and opportunity and hit starship pain on TRUTH.

1,2,3 TRUTH's gone.

Jericho hits the codebreaker on morrison straight after.Edge comes running down the ramp.Jericho see's him and gets distracted.Edge starts climbing the chamber.Morrison gets up and hits the Moonlight Drive on Jericho and picks up the win.

Morrison then loses the title the next week on SD! to Jericho.
 
I see Undertaker losing the title to jericho mainly because of a recent report that the Undertaker will be losing the title soon and who better to lose the title to but to Jericho. I say this because it seems like everyone wants to see Edge vs Jericho at mania and I would also like to see that too. So I see Jericho winnig simply for that reason.
 
I can't seem to see where Punk will fit in at WM26. Looking at it I think its possible Punk will win the World Title in a surprising move. I mean he did not win the tag titles with Gallows which could have been used to set up a feud at WM.

Here is the scenario I see playing out.
- Punk wins the World Title at EC
- Punk and Undertaker have a rematch the following Smackdown! Michaels cost Taker the match where Taker vs. Michaels is set.
- Sometime during then Jericho and Edge face each other. Jericho wins and claims he should be the #1 contender. Setting up a Triple Threat.

Personally I do not like this idea. Especially since I like my WM Main Events one-on-one.
 
I'm going with CM Punk for the win, with Edge challenging Punk for the title.

I think WWE has a lot of you fooled with thinking it's going to be Jericho, but I don't think that's the direction they are going on. Sure Edge and Jericho may feud on TV for a couple weeks, but CM Punk is a far, far bigger deal than Jericho is at this point in time. With the SES gaining momentum as a powerful gimmick each and every week, I see Punk taking the title at Elimination Chamber, and Edge challenging him on the Grandest Stage of them All.

That would be a much bigger encounter than Edge and Jericho, as more has been invested into Punk's character than Jericho.

Jericho isn't interesting as a Champion. I think WWE has lost faith in him holding a Heavyweight Title.

The WHC has Punk's name on it in this match.
 
First off, there's no way R-Truth or Morrison are winning this. It's a good oppurtunity for them to be in the match though. I doubt Rey wins either, as a World Title reign seems unlikely at this point.

I'd really like to see Punk win, as he's by far the best thing in wrestling at the moment, but I just don't see it happening. I can't see the WWE putting the title on him going into WM.

It comes down to Taker and Jericho, and I don't see a need for Taker to hold the belt going into WM. HBK/Taker is likely going ot happen, and that shouldn't be a title match. Jericho/Edge has been building for months, and there is no way that isn't happening at WM. With the Edge RR win, I can't see Jericho not winning here.
 
So it seems that John Morrison is out of the Elimination chambers match due to a broken ankle, I just wanted to know everyone's thought on what happens now? There now seems to be a open slot for Smackdown's elimination chambers match, Who do you think should take John's spot? Give the reasons why,
My top 3 would have to be;

1.Drew McIntyre-He's the Intercontinental Champion, Yeah I know, a little of it has to do with Politics but all that aside, I've said earlier in my other post awhile back, he reminds me a lot of Barry Windham when Barry was a horseman, I don't think it would be wise to put him in a stable, he doesn't need it, and he is Vince's "future WWE champion" Why not let him be the 2nd person to be Intercontinental heavyweight champion and world champ!

2.Christian-Unless we need another "face" in the elimination chambers match, why not go with Christian? He's the ECW champion, ECW is about to crumble, they're misusing him why not put him in the Chamber match! (maybe even for the wwe writers in the back) a new angle would to be the only person to hold the ECW Champion and World heavyweight champion at the same time, (something new, something fresh)

3.Kane-he is so under-used, regardless of him being eliminated every year at the rumble, he's always my pick! What can I say, I am a big red machine fan, I think he is long overdue for a world title, I am tired of him jobbing every week to other superstars! I would love for him to qualify on superstars and than dominate in the chambers with the undertaker and better yet have him come back for the elimination chambers with the mask on! What does everybody think?

Give me your thoughts!
 
Shawn Michaels will not be included in the match. That makes no sense. This isn't a work, Morrison has legitimately injured his ankle. It wasn't planned which means that they aren't going to rewrite their entire planned story with Michael and Undertaker.

Christian or Kane is a much better choice. Personally I'd prefer Kane in there. He's imposing. It'd add another element to the match with The Undertaker being involved (I love them two teaming up and we haven't seen them fight each other for ages.) The reason I chose Kane over Christian is because I know that neither of them will win and I'd much rather prefer Christian to enter into a feud aside from the chamber and the WHC. Christian could happily step into the now vacant Intercontinental challenger spot. I think he'd work tremendously well with McIntyre and they could go on to Wrestlemania and put on a great match, provided they're both not in the MITB.
 
I really lik the idea of Christian. If Morrison can't deal with the pain until at least the PPV (He stated that he was going to walk it off and make the international tour starting tommorow) then Christian would be the best idea since he made his RAW appearance to say that ECW guys are free agents and what better sign for SmackDown than the current ECW Champion?
 
ok here it goes::::::TONY'S TAKE ON THIS MATCH

Mysterio - NO!!! He will definitely have his "highlight moments" but not a win!

R Truth - SLIM! This would definitely be a "SHOCKER" as was the Sheamus Fiasco, and it would give a much needed breath of fresh air to a suffocating program. Guys like Batista, Edge and CM Punk have a definite basis for a feud, by claim to be "legit" contenders for the belt there for putting R Truth in a position benefit and GROW from encounters with theses high scale players. Just food for thought!

CM Punk - NO WAY!! There is no room in the WM picture for him right now. WWE has been dropping seeds for a while to set up the "perfect" matches for Mania and they changed once due to CENA nagging back injury. I don't think Vince has enough faith in Punk's drawing power to change plans again.


Jericho - MAYBE!!! WWE tends to stay away from superstar when they have legal issues. ESCPECIALLY when the issue are well know. Jericho's mugshot all on the evening news and internet for drunk and disorderly conduct is just as bad as RVD's or JEFF's Drug problems in VINCE's eyes. May even SUSPEND him as they use him for the PPV (as they did ORTON and MYSTERIO). Under normal circumstances I would say YES CHRIS WILL BE THE CHAMP, but as of now I can't go with him

MORRISON -OUT if his ankle is indeed broken. But if not he has the BEST chance of winning! Highly decorated and highly pushed this past year Jonny Boy is Primed for Prime Time! but if he's out.....

KANE should be in. Kane is underrated and UNDERUSED. Putting him in the match will take away Taker's position as the big man in the match, and add a spark to the match as he would be able to go toe-toe with the "Dead Man"! It
should come down to these two and they should wreck shop!!! I mean just tear up the whole damn chamber!!!!! Make a wall collapse or something lol!!!

Then HBK can run out and kick Taker allowing Kane to win setting up HBK/TAKER!!!!! Batista can then come out, spear Kane and set up KANE/ Batista. Edge can then build on the fact that Jericho failed in securing the title in the chamber and during his absence. Go with the failure angle, setting up EDGE/Jericho to see who is the better man.

Then there is the obvious. Taker can win and then we go with the easy HBK/Taker main event. Good match but we need a DRAMATIC build up.
 
I think that they can take advantage of Morrison being hurt and put Michaels in his spot in the EC. Maybe have Michaels eliminate Taker so he can start claiming "see Taker, I CAN beat you". I am reasonably confident that Jericho will win the title to set up the match with Edge. In all honesty, I think McIntyre will replace JoMo and the eliminations will go R-Truth -> Drew -> Rey ->Taker ->Punk, with Jericho as your winner.
 
I dont think Drew will be in the match. 1) because he'll probably have an IC title match to attend to and 2) It'd screw up his 'unbeaten' statistics, which is bad for him.
 
I think Punk and Mysterio are going to have a program that leads to a hair vs mask program, so I think both of them are out. Truth is in there to dazzle, same with Morrison, nothing more. I think it come down to Jericho and Taker, and Im going with Jericho, with HBK somehow costing Taker the title, leading to a Jericho win, with Edge using his Rumble win to challenge Jericho at Mania. I voted for Jericho.
